The bishop is developed while keeping an eye on c3-c4.
11. b2c3  11... e8g8 An interesting position resulted from Black's experiment in the opening. By exchanging two pairs of minor pieces, Black's position is less constrained than normal in queen's pawn positions. However, it's important to note that White has an extra pawn in the center (d4 and e2 versus d5), which is a strategic advantage that can become considerable if the c4 or e4 move arrives at the right time. Overall, it can be said that the position is close to equality, but accurate play is still required on Black's part. 12. f3d2 Threatening the pawn on d5 and providing support for future breaks on e4 or c4, which are the basis of the white plan. 12... c6e7 The knight returns to defend the pawn on d5 and also makes it possible to advance the pawn to c6 (which allows the knight to be repositioned later) or even to c5, as will happen in the game. The problem with this move is that it makes it easier for White to advance a pawn to c4 or e4, due to the knight's temporarily passive position. 13. e2e3 Preparing the c3-c4 advance, one of White's plans. Perhaps it would even be better to play the other possible plan, which is to advance the pawn to e4, either now or after 13.Qa4.
